Amazing that the G String stayed on the way that Keith was throwing the mike stand around - he was no-where near killing anyone - except the glitter ball - now that WAS close !

Keep up the good work ( and the G String ! )

"Old rockers" indeed!!!!!! Run for cover or duck quickly, Chloe, ...but then perhaps this is the new yoof-speak for mature, perfectly honed musicians???!!!!

AND don't they just look gorgeous in the pics (well ok, I have to admit this is coming from a long-time fan who has JUST turned the "funereal side of 50"!!!!) Also, from mid-crowd position on Saturday night, Ian's cool and professional manner reminded me of none other than the great Adam Clayton....so watch out U2....we remember that ATF chant!!!???

Now, (cue Keith and Matt) what was is that the nice lady from Radio Essex said about you? If you're both too shy to mention it I am sure someone else will !!!

First gig for me since 1982. Took along a mate who's a bit younger and didn't remember you first time. Only had a 30 minute car ride to familirise him with ATF - he was mildly impressed in the car but a whole lot more after the show. We loved it - we were down the front, next to Matt's girlfriend and were impressed by the younger fan base - pity the Mersea locals didn't get warmed up until near the end - as said before, they had come for the Abba/Elton/Queen cover bands, who were far inferior in ability to ATF (Abba particularly poor).

We'll try and get to other gigs - keep rockin' guys
